[Apologies for duplicates]
Dear Colleagues,
Dr. Paul Twomey, CEO of ICANN, has posted an open letter to Axel Pawlik,
Managing Director of the RIPE NCC, noting ICANN's appreciation of the
role RIPE NCC plays as operator of k.root-servers.net, or simply K-root,
one of the 13 Internet root name servers.
The letter was sent in response to letters sent by the RIPE NCC,
Autonomica, operator of I-root, and WIDE Project, operator of M-root,
to ICANN in May 2009.
The letter notes that both ICANN and the RIPE NCC acknowledge "that a
single, unique DNS root is paramount to the stable operations of the
Internet and to ensure global interoperability", and that "close ICANN
coordination with the root-server operators provides a foundation for a
secure, stable and resilient DNS."
ICANN and the RIPE NCC have jointly committed to "coordinating their
respective activities regarding the DNS root name service with each
other and third parties". This includes "exchanging and maintaining the
necessary operational and administrative contact information, notifying
each other without undue delay of any (pending) operational changes or
any (pending) changes in their respective activities".

Dear Colleagues,
The RIPE NCC (AS25152) upgraded the k.root-servers.net instance in
Frankfurt, Germany to a global node on 18 June 2009.
This means that we are now announcing the prefix without the BGP no-
export attribute. If you have been operating a peering session with us
at DE-CIX, you will now see the prefix 193.0.14.0/23 instead of
193.0.14.0/24. Please adjust your filters if necessary.
Anybody interested in peering with us can either use the DE-CIX route
servers or contact <k-peerings(a)ripe.net> to set up a separate peering
session.
We also invite anybody who is willing to provide us with transit for
this instance to contact us at <k-peerings(a)ripe.net>.
Regards,
Wolfgang Nagele
DNS System Engineer, RIPE NCC
